This stunning Grade II Listed barn conversion offers a truly exceptional living experience, seamlessly blending its rich historical character with a comprehensive, loving upgrade by the current owners. Presented in immaculate condition, the property has been thoughtfully modernised while retaining a wealth of its original and impressive features, resulting in characterful, light-filled, and open living spaces. A highly valuable feature is the property's flexibility: the current bathroom serving Bed 2 was previously the third bedroom (Bed 3), and converting it back to a 3-bedroom configuration would be straightforward for future owners.

Nestled within a peaceful and private setting, the frontage benefits from a shared parking area and is backed by a beautiful old character stone wall-reminiscent of a secret garden backdrop. Habberley provides a delightful, tranquil location with easy access to surrounding areas.
Stepping through the imposing arched, timber-framed, and glass-panelled front door, you are welcomed into a spacious and naturally bright hallway. High-quality wood flooring flows effortlessly throughout the entire ground level, creating a cohesive and elegant feel.
The heart of the home is the impressive and generously sized kitchen/dining area, recently enhanced by the owners with impeccable taste. This country-style fitted kitchen is perfectly harmonised with the building's character. The central island is a duck-egg blue, contrasted by cream wall units, and features a sophisticated integrated SMEG induction hob with integrated storage and a welcoming breakfast bar-perfect for casual dining or socialising while cooking. The culinary space is completed by a beautiful Belfast sink with a copper mixer tap, copper cupboard handles, integrated SMEG double ovens, and separate full-height fridge and freezer, all set against elegant white quartz worksurfaces. Exposed timber ceiling beams and full-height structural beams naturally frame the island, subtly distinguishing the culinary area from the dining space beyond.
The dining area is a beautiful, light space, featuring two charming arched windows with original iron bars to the front elevation. Double doors open directly onto the peaceful rear courtyard garden, offering a seamless flow for entertaining.
To the left of the hallway is the spacious lounge. This welcoming living room features a striking media wall with a three-sided electric fire that extends the full width of the chimney breast, creating a dramatic focal point. An exposed ceiling beam adds rustic charm, while two more arched character windows, complete with external iron bars, maintain the connection to the barn's heritage. Double doors also provide direct access to the rear garden.
The ground floor is completed by a handy utility room and a modern cloakroom. The utility room is a spacious, practical space with cleverly created storage solutions. The under-stair area houses plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, topped by a useful worksurface and shelving. Built-in storage has been added to house the boiler, offering additional valuable storage and a rail for hanging clothes. A door from the utility room provides convenient access to the enclosed courtyard garden. The modern cloakroom features a wide vanity basin with storage beneath and a contemporary WC.
The turn staircase, which is finished with a plush cream carpet that extends throughout the upper floor, leads to a striking galleried landing. A mezzanine area provides a perfect spot for quiet contemplation, featuring a floor-to-ceiling painted timber balustrade. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are a mirror image of each other, both offering luxurious, thoughtfully designed private spaces. The Master Bedroom (Bed 1), painted in a soft pink, is accessed via an initial dressing area with a skylight; the main bedroom is a double room with a full-width built-in wardrobe and a charming dormer window providing views over the private frontage. Exposed brickwork and an engraved stone bearing the building's age-1754-serve as a powerful and beautiful link to the property's past. The first ensuite is a haven of modern luxury, featuring a panelled bath with a mixer tap and handheld shower, a separate shower cubicle with both a rainfall and a separate shower head, a WC, a wide vanity basin with storage, and a fitted floor-to-ceiling storage cupboard, all finished with complementary tiled floors and walls. Bedroom 2 is painted in a soft green and also features a dedicated, skylight-lit dressing room leading into the main bedroom area. This room has a built-in wardrobe and a dormer window to the front, and the second ensuite includes a corner shower cubicle, a WC, a vanity basin with storage, and a skylight, complemented by a full-length built-in wardrobe.
The property offers highly desirable, low-maintenance outdoor areas without sacrificing beauty. Step outside to discover the charming courtyard garden, which is walled on three sides to provide a high degree of privacy and shelter-a true sanctuary. This lovely space, paved with attractive cobbles, creates a sheltered, sun-trap ideal for intimate al fresco dining or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The atmosphere is enhanced by a beautifully maintained herbaceous border, which introduces splashes of colour and scent throughout the seasons, softening the boundary walls and adding a touch of natural elegance. Furthermore, the garden includes a valuable small storage shed, ensuring the space remains tidy and uncluttered. Double doors from both the kitchen/dining room and the lounge ensure this space is easily integrated into daily life. To the front, a large single garage offers space for a car and storage, with additional parking available in front of the garage, while shared parking is available on the track, adjacent to the fence. This meticulously upgraded barn is a sanctuary of character and light, offering a truly exceptional home where historic charm meets impeccable contemporary design.
